Acts 8:6 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 8:6

And the people with one accord
The inhabitants of the city of Samaria, as one man, came to hear the word:

and gave heed to those things which Philip spake;
they listened to them, took notice of them, gave their ascent to them, believed and embraced them; being induced thereunto, not only upon the evidence by which these things came, but by reason of the miracles which he wrought, for the confirmation of them: for it follows,

hearing and seeing the miracles which he did;
and which are particularly mentioned in the next verse.

Acts 8:6 In-Context

4 And they that were scattered [Therefore they were scattered], passed forth, preaching the word of God.
5 And Philip came down into a city of Samaria, and preached to them Christ.
6 And the people gave attention to these things [to those things] that were said of Philip, with one will hearing and seeing the signs that he did.
7 For many of them that had unclean spirits, cried with great voice, and went out [crying with great voice, went out]. And many sick in the palsy [Forsooth many sick in palsy], and crooked, were healed.
8 Therefore great joy was made in that city.
